History

Established in 2010.

For years, I have been helping friends, co-​workers and people they know with their resumes. Also, as someone who has been a supervisor, I have seen many resumes come across my desk, and I quickly developed a good understanding of which formats work and which ones don’t. More importantly, I’ve seen a lot of the mistakes people commonly make in composing their resumes.

The thing is, most people don’t really develop a skill for writing resumes Why should they? It’s something you might need once every five years if things are going well.

About two years ago, a good friend of mine asked me to help her with her resume. I realized that I couldn’t essentially change the whole thing without hurting her feelings, so I took the time to explain each and every change I made. In the process, I realized that I can use what I have learned over the years to help people in this tough economy.
